Not even a yard of fashion tape can save this poorly designed and ill-fitting dress
Absolutely beautiful color but saying this is a horribly fitting and just bizarrely and poorly designed and executed dress is a massive understatement. There’s not a single body type this dress would work on which means the model had to be styled within an inch of her life to get this dress to stay up in all the necessary, strategic places. I did not end up wearing it to the holiday party at all, and quite frankly... the design of the upper half was so obscene that I wouldn't have worn in on a trip to Vegas to hang out with my sorority sisters in my 20s because the "sisters" inexplicably manage to both "hang out" from the front AND the sides (a remarkable accomplishment if you really think about it), no matter how much fashion tape is used. The fit of the bottom half and the length were ok enough, but the top half hangs off the sides (while the size with the zipper “hangs” more than the other) in a way that made photographing it impossible without RTR giving us an “explicit warning” option. Save yourselves ladies! There are FAR better options on this site.

Gorgeous, professional coat
Rented this for getting out of the house in the morning and headed to business meetings. It might be May, but in Colorado our mornings are still chilly and this is perfect. Warm, comfy, yet very professional. Would be even better with a belt, but for the purposes of walking out of the house in the morning and into a client's office, it was perfection.

Beautiful, heavy fabric. Gorgeous colors! However....
This is an absolutely beautiful shift. Very well made (as one would expect) and super fun colors with a mod vibe. I rented this for a business meeting, and I need to start paying more attention to the model's photos. I am 5'10" and the end of this grazed the tips of my fingers, which is my rule-of-thumb for being work inappropriate. I think it would be absolutely amazing on women 5'6" and under. Or, renting it for a non-professional event. So I tried it on and it fit absolutely perfectly, but I had to send it right back.

So great I rented it twice
I wish RTR had a way to indicate if you've rented the piece before. I know, I know.... First World Problem, but I guess this top is so nice I rented it twice. Super fun for office (notice the opening in front on the model near the waist. I just pin this together for the office so I don't have any wardrobe malfunctions). VERY fun for after work - many compliments from my friends on how beautifully it drapes and the stunning color.

Cute and more flattering than horizontal stripes normally are
Cute, fun, professional and flattering dress. Can be worn to the office; if your work is business attire rather than business casual, this would still work with a small blazer. Very cute.

Exceptionally flattering and very professional
Not all RTR dresses have to be for formal affairs. I wore this for a business meeting and it is beyond professional, but still very feminine and exceptionally flattering. I'm quite tall and the length was still perfect for that environment.

Badgley Mischka has succeeded once again. The cut and fit are perfection and even though this is a full-on sequined dress, the sparkle is muted and don't look like you just come from prom at all. Many, many compliments throughout the night. Would wear this again in a heartbeat.

Serves it purpose
If you need a coat for a formal event that won't be worn except from/to the car, this is a good option. For me, it was far bulkier on that it appears to be on the model, but it's not itchy and kept me warm. Mission accomplished.

Don't judge by what you see on the hanger!
Upon taking this out of the bag, both my husband and I were like..... blink, blink... what?!?! At first glace, the material feels heavy and un-feminine (remember felt boards as a kid? that's what it feels like). It looks lumpy and un-flatting. HOWEVER, keep going and TRY THIS DRESS ON! It's beautiful, flattering and the material comes in very handy for a Colorado winter formal affair. The colors are beautiful, understated and elegant. My girl crush on Tory Burch continues.

Beautiful colors and material
I ordered a M which fit well except the cut around the arms and shoulders runs very, very small/tight. However, I am quite tall and this might have had something to do with it. To make it work appropriate, I tied the extra material on the size around the back for a more fit look and it was very cute. Beautiful colors and great material.

Beautiful color, great material, really well made
Ordered this in I think was the only available size at the time (8). I would say it's a large 8. However, this dress is so cute and fun, the color is beautiful and the length is very appropriate for a workplace environment, that I would definitely order it again (although in a much smaller size).

Beautiful color -- needs pinning or fashion tape at top
Beautiful lilac color and great material. I'm guessing they used a pin or fashion tape on the model because the opening at the top can go almost down to your navel. Be prepared!! I pinned it and wore a tank top underneath to avoid any potentially embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions on this one. It drapes beautifully, but in my opinion, it does run very, very large. I have a small frame and typically order a medium to make sure I have plenty of coverage over the "girls", but since the front opening is so large, I honestly could have gone with a small or XS.

Super cute and fun, but not for us tall girls
This is adorable (in theory). I ordered the medium, and it ran very large and very boxy. However, at 5'10", the way it looked on me wasn't even close to how it appears on the model. The white "fringe" bottom started below my chest -- not nearly as low as it appears online. Consequently, I had to wear a tank top underneath to keep my sides from showing. This would be far cuter on shorter and much more petite women than me.

Perfect size.... unless you have an iPhone 6
This is an amazing little purse. Perfect size for everything.... unless you have an iPhone 6. It will fit (barely), but then you won't be able to include much more than a credit card. Anything smaller than the 6 should be just fine. It is a beautiful clutch, but definitely needed to give you ladies a heads up about the size. ;-)

My "borrowed" items for my wedding. Absolutely stunning!!
These were the perfect size to pair with my wedding dress.... wanted them to be noticed, but not distracting from the overall look. Absolutely beautiful and light as a feather.

Beautiful color! Extremely comfortable; heavy material
The color is absolutely stunning and the material is so thick and well lined that undergarments aren't necessary (but if worn, you do NOT have to worry about anything showing). I ordered a size 4, backup size 8 (6 was rented out) and ended up wearing the 8 which I thought was a larger than usual 8 for dresses. I could have easily worn the 4 had I not had so many cocktails the night before. ;) The color is standout and overall it's just so, so comfortable.

Unbelievable dress!
Believe me when I say you MUST rent this dress!! Absolutely stunning on, especially the back. Incredibly comfortable. Fully lined so you don't have to worry about usual "see through" concerns that one might have in a white dress. Beading did not scratch or irritate. True to size with a little bit of stretch. Would have loved to keep it!

This is a stunning gown that I received complements on all night!!
I actually thought the dress ran small, and ended up wearing the smaller backup size (42L) and probably could have gone with a 40. Two VERY important things to note about this gown - it is very, very sheer; almost see-through. I ended up having to purchase a nude (and very opaque) slip to wear underneath it, so I wouldn't recommend this gown if you are going to be in bright light at all. I am very tall (5' 10") and wore 4" heels and this dress is EXTREMELY long - ended up carrying it to walk most of the night. The good news is that the dress is absolutely stunning and you will certainly stand out in a sea of black dresses.
